Today, a liberal and open-minded mood can cause you to become curious about beliefs and opinions that are quite different from your own. Even if you usually steer clear of information that will challenge your individual ideology, you will likely feel compelled to investigate controversial ideas that could undermine the ideals you hold dear. By exploring the notions that cause you to think critically about the worldview you have established, you can expand your perspective and learn to accept that there are many diverse ways of accomplishing a single goal. Whether you internalize these concepts today is likely less important than your ability to remain tolerant in the face of opposition.

Liberal and unfamiliar ideas should never frighten usórather, they should make us sit up and take notice because we can inevitably learn from them. While we may feel a degree of discomfort as we move away from the boundaries of our usual comfort zone, we will soon come to discover that there is so much to discover in a wide open universe. There will be some ideas that strike us as valuable, and we may feel compelled to integrate these into our everyday experiences. Other notions will not meet our needs, and these we will examine thoroughly before putting them aside. However, both sets of ideological concepts provide us with the tools that will help us ensure our continuing growth. If you open yourself to new ways of thinking today, you will never be without the insights you need to attain a new level of enlightenment.
